The growth in the volume of electronically stored information is expected to fuel demand for the eDiscovery market in the coming years. Electronically stored information (ESI) refers to data that is created, modified, transmitted, and stored in digital form. In recent years, increasing digitization has led to a significant rise in electronically stored information. The volume, formats, and sources of electronically stored information that must be captured are becoming increasingly varied. eDiscovery tools are utilized to conduct digital investigation activities on electronically stored data. Additionally, they support the exchange of evidence in legal cases or investigations directly through databases. For example, in February 2024, according to GOV.UK, a UK-based government agency, the digital sector’s GVA increased by 0.3% in December 2023 compared to November 2023. Moreover, GVA from the digital sector in 2023 was estimated at approximately £161 billion ($215.7 billion) in 2022 prices, accounting for 7% of UK GVA. Consequently, the rising volume of electronically stored information is driving the growth of the eDiscovery market.
